I was offered this CFB bet ND/USC
 
OK So I know a Notre Dame fan, and I'm a USC fan. I asked him if he liked Texas(since he hates USC) in the Rose Bowl and he says yeah. I ask him if he wants to bet he said he will bet me $50 on Tex/USC if I bet him $50 on ND/Ohio State. I told him I would think about it.

Would anyone do this deal? The lines have come out and USC and OSU are both favorites(for now) and USC is playing a home game. I wasn't worried about the USC game just the ND game as I'm not sure about that one. Any thoughts?

the moneyline on Texas is much higher than the moneyline on ND. If you have any concerns, you could always place ML bets on Ohio State and Texas to guarantee a small amount of cash.

If you're not worried about the USC game, then you're basically freerolling. Why wouldn't you take this bet, then?

I think he gets ND, but I might be wrong. Certainly if he gets OSU/USC this is a no-brainer.

OK it's unanimous. I knew at best I was free-rolling, but I just didn't know much about OSU. But seeing them favored is good. And as someone said, I could always hedge. But I doubt I'll do that. Thanks for the input guys.
